Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5009675, member: 12088"] How is this [B]my[/B] view? I expect we’ll see plenty of the high low pairings on offense of the Liv/Dorka-Aailiyah years. In defense we’ll also see lots switching 1 through 5 and bigs coming out for high hedges. As I’ve pointed out before, Jana has top-of-the-key offensive skills already, as do Sarah Morgan and Ice. And all the bigs have the needed defensive potential. I also think we’ll see lots of 4-out sets and even some 5-out sets. We will have the personnel for these too. My view is and has long been that we’ll see remarkable roster flexibility next season. If Paige KK Ash Ice and Jana start in November, that will only superficially resemble some traditional alignment. And I full expect that lineup to give way to even more flexible units as the freshmen get up to speed and the injured return. I’m mainly surprised at how so many think of starting lineups only in end-of-season terms. This is interesting and important to fans. But the players also think a lot about how the lineups shake out early and mid season. That is, the season matters a lot to them and how and when they play game by game. This team has a lot of new and refurbished moving parts and it will take some time for Geno to sort it all out — that is, to teach them how to play Husky basketball together. [/QUOTE]
